April 7, 1998 Snow Job ‘98 by Teryn DeSmet and Christina Redlon What do you call three days of sun, fun and great music? Snow Job ‘98. It was held at the beautiful Sun Peaks Resort, located an hour out of downtown Kamloops. The big finish consisted of Holly McNarland, All Saints, Chumbawamba and grand finale to all of Snow Job, LL Cool J. Holly McNarland opened the whole show and successfully managed to get the crowd warmed up and moving. Holly McNarland is able to produce soul touching notes at a decibel level most would-be vocalists only dream of reproducing. She looks frail and waiflike but from the minute she bounced out onto the stage, and started belting out the lyrics to “Coward” she showed incredable vitality. She thrilled the audience with her soulful song “Numb”. When she finished her set the crowd roared for an encore, which she graciously provid- ed. She sang the song “Elmo” which soon became one of my personal faves. All Saints played an extreme- ly short set of only three songs. They performed their popular hit “| know Where It’s At” as well as an excellent remake of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Under the Bridge”. As they sang they enthralled the crowd with their well choreographed dance moves. Even though they were on stage for such a short time they still kept the fans jumping and yelling for more. 7 NEWS that was thrown on stage. photo by Teryn DeSmet British anarchist group Chumbawamba was next on the agenda. Some moron in the crowd threw an empty liquor bottle on the stage much to the group’s obvious annoyance. Chumbawamba played a variety of songs from their numerous’ albums. Contrary to popular belief they have been making _ their unique music for numerous years. From their latest album they played such songs as “Amnesia” and “The Good Ship Lifestyle”. Due to some people in the audience who persisted in throwing snow and stuff on stage they cut their set short and concluded with the much requested Bosstones’ lead singer Dicky Bari crowd. photo by Teryn DeSmet Chumbawamba salutes the crowd Chumbawamba vocalist shows his appreciation of partici- pation by the crowd by showing an empty liquor bottle LL Cool J struts his stuff for an appreciative audi- ence photo by Teryn DeSmet “Tubthumping’. It's a shame that a few rude people can wreck a good show for the everyone else AND give a . great band such a crappy impression of BC and it’s people. After an hour long wait it was time for the performer every- one was waiting for. LL Cool J exploded on stage amid a shower of pyrotechnics. He opened with the title track off his latest album “Phenonenom’ while his mul- titude of fans screamed them- selves hoarse. He performed a number of his most popular songs including “Doin It’ and “Mama Said Knock You Out”. LL made great use of the stage, constantly moving from one side of the stage to the ~ other while his entourage of dancers performed excellently behind him. The fans in the stands at the sides of the stage were fortunate enough to be invited to dance on stage with him during his final song.
